seriously - to all cane fans attending the game - i sincerely wish you a safe and fun experience (although I do hope your team loses). the reputation of osu fans for treatment of visitors is well documented and not terribly favorable (see reports of UT fans (the classiest fanbase in the country) from 2005 and various safety advisories put out by michigan administrators about visiting the shoe), and I can't remember ever seeing as much hostility towards a team in our fanbase as I do to miami now - and every day the "rock" or some other luminary stokes it even more. I wish it was not the case, but if I were a miami fan and knew what i know about how this game environment is likely to be, there is no way i would go to the game in person.you will all be in the same section and you will quickly see why that simply doesn’t matter.

You have go back 9 seasons to have us lose 2 home games in a year.
Travel safe. Enjoy yourselves before the game. Have fun on Lane Ave. And don't cry about it when it's overWell, I guess losing a total of 5 home games in the past 8 seasons might be good indicator that The Shoe could be a tough place to play.

First time @ "The Shoe " for me and while I love to cheer loudly, must respect that we are out numbered by 101,000 people.....if it is true that we got more tix than most opponents we all thank OSU however, they spread us out throughout the place to limit our enthusiasm.......it won"t work as our boys will make enough noise for all of us!!!WOW….2 days…..big time game and Miami returns to the spotlight with what I predict will be an in your face beating and a very quiet crowd.

Maybe the fans are bad b/c you talk trash about the team 95% of Columbus residents support. If you hate the bucks then ignore, and avoid them, or don't live in the hub of the team you dislike. As for the game keep wishing, its sad that you cheer for college age men to lose instead of finding your own team to support.eddie21 if you hate the bucks so much then why do you live in Columbus?

Jim S.Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:05:53 +0000http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_college_hurricanes/?p=2419#comment-189447What an irresponsible piece of journalism!! Your headline talks smack about a stadium that you have never personally visited.
Can't wait to see how many illegal proceedure, false starts, and delay of game penalties your team is going to incur from a "nonexistent" Buckeye presence.
And what really takes the cake it's coming from a program that doesn't even sell out their own stadium or use their allotment of tickets for this game. The Big Ten consistantly rate near the top in college football attendance every year. Not really sure why the hate...but guarantee you this article is making it's rounds in Ohio and the stadium will be rocking come Saturday.
Good luck to your school and we pray for an injury free contest.What an irresponsible piece of journalism!! Your headline talks smack about a stadium that you have never personally visited.
